ALOE GEL SUNBURN RELIEF

Summer Essentials – Make Your Own Aloe Vera Sunburn Relief Gel

All of us have probably stayed out in the sun too long at least once in our lives. I’ve regretted not bringing along a hat and sunscreen many times while out at the stadium for a few hours, or while oversleeping on the beach! A sunburn is no joke though, the pain can be intense and the cell damage permanent.

Therefore, the best advice is prevention. Wearing the right, protective clothing for the activity you are doing is the first step. Wear a hat when possible, along with long sleeves and something to cover your neck. Anything left exposed should be slathered with a good quality sunscreen and re-applied according to the manufacturers instructions.

Aloe Vera has long been used for sunburn relief. It’s thick, cooling sensation is a welcome relief to sunburn sufferers. We use our Aloe Vera Gel Base to make our very favorite Sunburn Relief Gel. Adding select Botanical Extracts and Essential Oils completes this soothing formula.
